Donald Trump's Twitter account was permanently suspended on Friday. In a blog published by the platform, the company elaborated on its decision to ban the president.
"In the context of horrific events this week, we made it clear on Wednesday that additional violations of the Twitter Rules would potentially result in this very course of action," the piece read.
The platform claimed that its "public interest framework" is designed to help the American public hear from politicians and leaders directly.
"It is built on a principle that the people have a right to hold power to account in the open."
